Refugees
from the Middle East and Africa are overwhelming Europe. Closer to home in
Chicago, we hear about children dieing from gun violence almost daily. Sometimes,
I like to take a break from the news, avoiding even hearing or reading about
what’s going on out there. At such times, it feels good to get away.
At these times, a trip to the country feels really good. For
once, I don’t have a social message to my travels. Green Lake in central
Wisconsin not far from Green Bay is a place to listen to the crickets and the
water on the lake. It’s a town of about 960 people on the north side of Big
Green Lake. People go there for fishing, boating, swimming, and relaxing.
We were happy to meet friends there who live in northern Wisconsin a few weeks ago. We stayed at the Heidleberg
House, a resort with its own lake front and small beach. It has a restaurant on the grounds and even an ice cream shop. What more could we ask for? We enjoyed a weekend of catching up and enjoying the scenery. You can
often find good deals for weekend or one-night getaways to it on the website www.travelzoo.com.
Absent my usual social messages,
here are a few pictures of the area. I get relaxed even looking at these
pictures.
